Hi Sue. I've been using both aloe vera and gargling with worm salt water so hard to really say the aloe is better. Not much of a scientific trial. LOL. As far as the Tobi treatment, I'm finally getting back to a smoker's voice so that is an improvement over a whisper. I'm not sure how to approach a particular issue with my pulm doc however. The three previous times I've been on Tobi (different pulm doc than now) I was always put on oral Levofloxin. I've brought this up twice with the current doc during portal messaging. The message would contain other questions, updates, etc. He has never addressed that. Do you think I should press more? It just seems it would be good to hit the pseudo in two ways otherwise the Tobi only might be a "little light" treatment and have to come back and do treatment again. I don't know if the lab indicated the pseudo was ??sensitive to Levofloxin or other antibiotic. Your thoughts. Thanks.
